Amazon.com Product Description
Best described as a cross between a skateboard and a snowboard, the Ripstik caster board is distinguished by its pivoting deck and 360-degree inclined caster trucks, which offers a snowboard-like carving ability. The RipStik DLX features an aluminum torsion bar for wicked grinds and carbon fiber deck graphics. Like the original Ripstik, the DLX moves you forward with a simple weight transfer that lets you turn or accelerate without pushing--just like when you're carving down the slopes.

The aluminum torsion bar in the center is ready for extreme grinding.

The board offers such features as spiked traction pads, a kick tail and nose, and a concave deck design, which combine to improve your foot control--a must for tricks. And thanks to the 76mm polyurethane wheels and precision ABEC-5 bearing casters, skaters will enjoy a smooth ride on almost any type of pavement. Designed for kids 8 years and up, the Ripstik's plastic end platforms and metal torsion beam support up to 220 pounds.

Key Features:

• Inclined caster trucks

• Riser pads
• Aluminum torsion bar
• 76-millimeter polyurethane wheels
• High-performance ABEC-5 bearings

Customer Reviews

My son loves this
I bought this for my son because he is such a good boy and deserved something as a reward for being such a good kid. This is what he wanted. He lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvves it. He rides it back and forth to school. He uses it as often as he can. I'm so glad I got it for him because he has soooo much fun with it and I love to see him happy.

Rip It!
I purchased this for my son's 12th birthday & he seems to enjoy it! At first he was a little off balance then after trying a few times he got the hang of it. Also his friends came over with their skateboards & before you knew it they all wanted to use the RipStik?

I may even give it a go, if I can ever take my flipflops off & put on a pair of sneakers, as it seems like fun!

Really cool board!
My 12 year old had been wanting one of these caser boards for some time, and I had wondered how sucessful he would be in learning to ride it. After a bit of research and checking out the different models at local stores we ordered him the DLX from Amazon. He has taken to this thing "like a duck to water" and rides the thing every day. The engineering of this board is really quite interesting. It is well made and seems as if it will last a long time. My only recommendation is this...if you buy one and enjoy riding it, go ahead and stock up on some extra wheels. As I mentioned he has been riding this thing like mad...mostly on concrete and asphalt. After about 6 weeks the rear wheel is completly gone! The front wheel is worn a bit, but not nearly as bad. The wheels and bearings for the DLX are uique, and are not everywhere on the internet, but I did find them at the Razor web site. Overall, we think it is a great product!
